questions
Hi
Dave,
This will be my
fourth DEC and everyone has been worth it. I think I have learned more at this
conference than any other I have attended. It is very focused, intimate and
full of some incredibly interesting people who are out there doing
it.
The content ranges
in complexity but almost all is going to be accessible if you have been
working with AD for years. What helps at this show is after the talk you are
having conversations with attendees who can clarify topics based on their own
experiences as well as provide tips on how it may be applicable to your
situation.
Like Joe mentioned
the ability to have candid conversations with people from Microsoft is also
incredibly valuable. There are a slew of Microsoft people there and they are
all focused on Directories and surrounding technologies.
The networking
outside of the Microsoft people is also a great value.
Oh yeah,
occasionally watching hung over people try to pay attention to deep DNS
discussions is sort of fun as well <G>. Being a hung over person trying
to pay attention to deep DNS discussions, well, that is not quite as
fun!
I hope to see you
there.
Kevin

questions
Hope you don't mind
these...
My company has
considered the idea of sending a couple of us to the conference, but are
wondering if they should use our vouchers to have us attend
some AD troubleshooting workshops [by Microsoft] instead.
While I don't know any specific details as to what that entails, we've also
never been to one of these DECs! Our managers have asked us
to justify in writing what we think we'll get out of this conference, and
if it will prove more worthwhile than the MS offering (again - sorry that I
don't know exactly *what* that is).
Myself? I
have 4+ years in a live AD environment, and can honestly say that
some of what I've seen written on this list zooms high overhead (!), while
other stuff falls right in line, so am hoping that I would be a good candidate
to attend.
I see many
testimonials, etc...on the conf. website, so just hoping to get any brief
thoughts from anyone - with many thanks in advance!
